Trying to Conceive

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 3 years now. I am 26 years old and my huband is 27. But it been very hard and we both have been disappointed when we both goes to my OB/GYN doc. Dr.Price prescribe some clomid medication and want me to start charting my temperature and cervical mucous. I have tired everything so far, but I'm getting a little frustrated. I went to Wal-Mart to buy some geritol liquor to see will it help. I only been taking it about a week now and hopefully something happen after I finish taking it. I don't have a regular menstrual period every month. But I want to know if I'm drinking green tea and gertiol will help me conceive.

For all the couples who are trying to conceive don't get discourage!!!!!

Pray for us and we will always keep you all in our prayer......

If something happen I wiill posted something

Our New Adventure

My dh and I have been trying to have a lil one for 4 yrs. This past year we where in a postion to seek a fertility specialist in Jacksonville, Fl. After 1 test they determined it was the dh-antibodies attacking the sperm. Only 5-8% of men are diagnosed w/this. After months of meeting w/dr.'s, paper work- I am finally on our 1st step to starting IVF. Tomorrow I start the lupron, Wed I have my IVF start date. Can't explain how nervous I am.

Staying strong

Well, i can kind of relate i guess. My hubby and i have been ttc for almost 2 years. Thats a long time, but not as long as others stories here. I love kids and have wanted one for the longest time. Ever since i had irregular periods ever since i can remember, i had a feeling i wont be able to have kids or it was going to be a rough road. Now, that i've been ttc, i wish i would have started way sooner if i knew i couldn't. My hubby loves kids also and it breaks my heart everytime we talk about having kids and doing this and that with them. We have a 1 year old nephew which we spoil so much. His sister is only 18 and i envy her cus the fact she had this cute lil boy by accident and is now planning on having another after graduating h.s. And i ask God that how come my hubby and i are more stable than they are and yet, we are planning out our life and can't finish it. It makes me sad everytime i watch my nephew and everytime i see a preggie woman. But im just trying not to let it bring me down, even tho it makes me ball my eyes out when my hubby leaves to work. But im going to stay strong and thigs happen for a reason. Just got to live my life. I got my hubby loving me and if thats all Gods going to give me, its still the greatest thing Gods given me. Smiles! ^_^

no luck

My husband was previously married and had a vasactomy b/c the two of them decided they did not want anymore children. Not considering that something may happen between the two of them. We have been married for almost two years and he had a reversal a year ago it was successful however the count was lower then normal and the mobility was not the greatest. Each month when my cycle comes i struggle with trying not to get depressed or discouraged but it is hard. The doctor tells us the count is ok considering his surgery but over a year and still no baby. I pray every night that god will let us conceive a healthy child doesn't matter to me if it's a boy or girl. We have considered doing other things but the cost are so high. So i'm going to try to give it a rest for awhile and then hop back on the wagon and try again.

Tiffany

IVF

Hi, I'm 34 yrs old and my husband is 35 we've been married for almost 10 years and we had our first IVF in 2005 and we're very excited but my pregnancy test came back negative. We were devasting one year later I tried again our 2 IVF and guess what it came back POSITIVE, we were so excited, my son is 2 yrs old. This past month I had a 3rd IFV done and just took pregnancy test and it was NEGATIVE; I was devasted but I'm so blessed with my 2 yr old son. God gave me the oppurtuniy of becoming a mother and I'm so very blessed. Don't give up hope and faith. Keep going and always think positive. I will be trying again in a couple of months. I want another baby soon so I can complete my family.

Hope and faith is always with us. Just pray to God everyday and your wishes will come true.
